Leonides

Leonides, 47, lives with his wife in the district of Pomahuaca, which is in the Cajamarca area in Peru's northern mountains. The residents farm, run businesses, and raise livestock. Leonides raises goats. He buys from nearby farms and later sells in the Chiple district, where the best livestock are brought and where cacao is grown. He has applied for a loan of 1200 nuevos soles to maintain his land and buy manure so that he has more production to offer his customers and has more income for his family.

This product was created to assist Edpyme Alternativa to expand their reach into rural areas of Northern Peru in order to attend more underserved populations. Kiva funding allows the institution to access the Northern areas of the Piura, Lambayeque, and Cajamarca regions, which are generally too costly to serve and therefore less attended by financial institutions.
